Kuwait Airways A320 neo
Kuwait Airways has taken delivery of its first Airbus A320neo aircraft recently.
The delivery is a milestone in Kuwait Airways’ 65th anniversary celebrations, marking an important step in the airline’s ambitious fleet renewal and growth plans, which will phase-in 15 A320neo aircraft to its fleet in the coming years, following a purchase agreement signed in 2014.
Kuwait Airways’ new A320neo is powered by CFM International LEAP-1A engines and is configured in a two-class layout, including 12 business class and 122 economy class seats.
The airline currently operates seven A320ceos.
Airbus says that the A320neo delivers 20% fuel savings per seat and nearly a 50% reduction in noise footprint compared to previous-generation aircraft.
